3. INSTALLATION

3.1 General

Remove the protective packaging and flow port protectors and check that the valve is clean inside. Clean valve if neces-sary.

Flush the tank car carefully before installing the valve. Foreign objects, such as sand or pieces of welding elec-trodes, will damage the ball and seats.

Read and follow all WARNINGS!

WARNING:SERIES 7RRR, 7RRT AND 7RRU VALVES ARE DESIGNED FOR MANUAL USE ONLY AND ARE NOT INTENDED FOR AUTOMATION! DO NOT FABRICATE OR ADD ON ANY TYPE OF AUTOMATING ACCESSORY.

The Jamesbury Series 7RRR, 7RRT and 7RRU are an end entry design with an internal insert. The insert contains a hex drive which can be identified by looking into the end of the valve before installation.

3.2 Handles

If the Series 7RRR, 7RRT or 7RRU valve handle (17) has to be removed for any reason, the handle must be remounted with the handle as shown in Figure 8 or 9.

WARNING:FAILURE TO PROPERLY MOUNT THE HANDLE MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER VALVE OPERATION, DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

3.3 Installing on tank car

WARNING:THE VALVE SHOULD BE TIGHTENED BETWEEN FLANGES USING APPROPRIATE GASKETS AND FASTENERS COMPATIBLE WITH THE APPLICATION, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE PIPING CODES AND STANDARDS. CENTER THE FLANGE GASKETS CAREFULLY WHEN FITTING THE VALVE BETWEEN FLANGES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT MISALIGNMENT BY MEANS OF FLANGE BOLTING!

The valve may be installed in any position and offers tight-ness in both directions. It is recommended, however, that the valve be installed with the insert (2) towards the tank car.

Refer to the Section 4, MAINTENANCE for stem seal adjust-ment. If there is weepage past the stem seals upon instal-lation, it means the valve may have been subject to wide temperature variations in shipment. Leak-tight performance will be restored by a simple stem seal adjustment described in the MAINTENANCE section.

3.4 Commissioning

Ensure that there is no dirt or foreign objects left inside the valve or tank car. Flush the tank car carefully. Make sure that the valve is fully open when flushing. Ensure that all nuts and fittings are properly fastened.

WARNING:GOOD PRACTICE DICTATES THAT ONCE INSTALLED, BUT PRIOR TO FIRST USE, THE VALVE IS LEAK TESTED IN PLACE TO ASSURE LEAKTIGHTNESS HAS NOT BEEN COMPROMISED BY THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. INSTALLATION ACTIONS THAT CAN CAUSE LEAKAGE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO; WRENCHING, SOLDERING, WELDING AND/OR HOISTING. SEE SECTION 4.5

4. MAINTENANCE

4.1 General

Good operating procedure requires periodic observation to ensure that the valve is functioning well. The frequency of observation will depend on the application. Routine main-tenance consists of tightening the bonnet cap screws (item 29 in Figure 8 or 9) periodically to compensate for stem seal wear. More frequent observation is recommended under extreme operating conditions.

Overhaul maintenance consists of replacing seats and seals. A standard repair kit consisting of these parts may be obtained through your authorized Metso Distributor.

NOTE: Repair kits include stem bearings (13), secondary stem seal (7), seats (5), body seal (6) and stem seal (8). Refer to the Repair Kit chart (see Table 3).

WARNING:FOR YOUR SAFETY IT IS IMPORTANT THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS BE TAKEN PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, SERVICING OR REMOVAL OF THE VALVE FROM THE TANK CAR OR BEFORE ANY DISASSEMBLY:

1. WEAR ANY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT NORMALLY REQUIRED WHEN WORKING WITH THE FLUID INVOLVED.

2. DEPRESSURIZE THE TANK CAR AND CYCLE THE VALVE AS FOLLOWS:

A. PLACE THE VALVE IN THE OPEN POSITION AND DRAIN THE TANK CAR.

B. CYCLE THE VALVE TO RELIEVE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN THE BODY CAVITY BEFORE REMOVAL FROM THE TANK CAR.

C. AFTER REMOVAL AND BEFORE ANY DISASSEMBLY, CYCLE THE VALVE AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES.

3. THESE VALVES ARE SUITABLE FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF FLUIDS AND GASES. BE CERTAIN THAT THE VALVE MATERIALS SELECTED ARE SUITABLE FOR THE APPLICATION.

NOTE: When ordering spare parts not included in the standard repair kits listed in Table 3, always include the following information:

a. Valve catalog code from Identification plate,

b. The serial number (stamped on the valve Identification plate),

c. From Figure 8 or 9, the ballooned part number, part name and quantity required.

4.4 Assembly

Refer to standard repair kit shown in Table 3 for replace-ment seats and seals. Apply a good lubricant compatible with the flow medium lightly to insert (2) and bonnet cap screws (29) threads to facilitate assembly.

1. Clean all valve parts, if not previously cleaned.

2. Inspect the parts to ensure sealing surfaces are in good condition and all parts are properly cleaned and prepared for assembly. Look for damage to the seating areas, body and insert. Check stem finish in the sealing area. If there are marks, use 600 or greater grit sand paper and polish circumferentially not up and down. Replace any damaged parts.

3. Clamp the valve body (1) securely in a vise in the vertical position with the insert end up, taking care not to damage any valve sealing surfaces.

4. Place one valve seat (5) sidewise into the body cavity (1) to just below the stem hole and tilt it into place so that the proper face will come in contact with the ball (3) (see Figure 5).

5. Place the stem bearings (13) and secondary stem seal (7) on the stem (4) shown in Figure 8 or 9.

6. Insert the stem (4) with the bearings into the valve body and through the stem bore in the body, as shown in (Figure 2, 3 or 4). Press it gently up into the stem bore until resistance is felt from the lower stem bearing. Be careful not to scratch or damage the seals.

7. Holding the stem in place from the inside, install the stem seal (8) and the compression plate (20) over the end of the stem protruding out of the body stem bore as shown in Figure 8 or 9.

8. Place the disc springs (31) on the cap screws (29). Disc spring orientation shall be as shown in Figure 8 and 9. Insert cap scews (29) with springs into body and tighten “finger-tight”.

9. While pressing the stem (4) outward from inside the body, tighten the cap screws (29), apply torque evenly, alternating between the two nuts so that the compres-sion plate will be parallel with the valve body. Rotate the stem gently to assure proper seating.

10. Tighten the cap screws (29) to the torque provided in (Table 2) (Hex head cap screw (29) torque).

11. Make sure there is no dirt and grit in the insert (2) threads. Apply a lubricant compatible with the flowing media to the threads and screw the insert (2) into the body (1) by hand until it is fully seated. Mark the posi-tion as shown in (Figure 6). Counting the number of turns, remove the insert.

12. Align the stem (5) to the ball slot. Insert the ball (3) rotating it onto the stem (4) in the closed position. If necessary turn the stem blade to align with the ball slot.

13. Insert the second seat (7) with the seat sealing surface towards the ball. (See Figure 5).

14. Insert the body seal (6) onto the insert (2).

15. Make sure there is no dirt and grit in the insert (2) threads. Using a thread lubricant compatible with the media, screw the insert (2) into the body (1) and tighten the insert. Insert must be tightened the same number of turns as in step 11, insuring that the marks are either lined up or insert mark is +/– 1/8” (Dimension A) either side of the body mark, as shown in Figure 7.
